And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit,

1:20
And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, 'Joseph, son of David, thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which in her was begotten is of the Holy Spirit,

1:21
and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.'

1:22
And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

1:23
Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being interpreted 'With us he is God.'

1:24
And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife,

1:25
and did not know her till she brought forth her son — the first-born, and he called his name Jesus.
